Landrover defender oil reservoir

[ZiggyNiva]

Morning all,

A mate has just come back from Sierra Leone tasked with the job of getting a replacement part for a landrover defender. He was told it was an oil reservoir, but knows no more than that (cant even tell me the age of the vehicle). I have attached a picture of the part and am hoping the knowledge of pistonheads will be able to point me in the correct direction.

Thank you in advance

Thank you.

They guy in Sierra Leone is apparently convinced its a "hydraulic oil reservoir".

However google images says that yourself (and someone on another forum) are indeed correct. Thank you very much it would have taken me a long time searching for the wrong part.

Just need to find a replacement now.

I might have a spare one in my shed which I bought for a defender I no longer own.

i'll have a look when I get home

That would be great if you do. Let me know what you want for it, and I will pass the information on to my mate.

Thank you again

Have it- but its a series version which isn't compatible I don't think.

As previous poster mentioned Craddock or Paddocks would be your best bet

No problem. Thank you very much for looking.
